The Thames

A complete guide to all there is to do and see

Where memories are made!

Le Boat operates on the stretch of Thames between Kingston and Oxford, spanning 4 counties and meandering through peaceful countryside, as well as several pretty towns and villages. And while it is the perfect scenic getaway, it also has an abundance of pubs, restaurants, shops and visitor attractions to keep even the most restless traveller entertained. In fact, there is so much to do, you could easily spend a fortnight here, and still have lots more to explore. Explore this section of our website to discover what your Thames holiday could look like.

Whether you're a food connoisseur or just enjoy eating out with friends and family - the Thames really does have it all. You definately won't go hungry here...

Eating Out

The Thames is packed full of great places to enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner. All the bigger towns such as Reading, Henley, Marlow and Windsor, as well as the London suburbs at the east end of the river, are chocka full of the big-branded eateries, famous-chain Italians and well-known coffee houses. And there’s a wealth of cosy tearooms and independent restaurants - especially in the smaller villages along the way. There are too many great places to list them all, but we’ve chosen some of the best locations, right on the river, which we think are definitely worth stopping at:

The pub – the great British institution. In recent years many have overhauled their menus, smartened their decor and now serve excellent food at reasonable prices – as well as pouring a good pint. The Thames has no shortage of riverside inns, so be sure to stop occasionally for a beer, glass of wine or a Pimms perhaps. And be careful when glancing at the menu – you might stay longer than planned! The following selection of our favourites pubs serve lunch and dinner and all welcome children, with their own kid’s menus. Open lunch time until late 7 days a week.

If you’re looking for exquisite cuisine at some of the UK’s most acclaimed restaurants, then the Thames will not disappoint. Award-winning culinary mastery comes as standard at the following selection of riverside gems. Enjoy!
